Fender / Custom Shop '52 Telecaster Relic / 2013 / Black Over Candy Apple Red / Guitar
|
One of the most sensational Teles we've ever tried, the first sight of it was truly jaw-dropping, with it's unique Black over Candy Apple Red finish and a great relic job and feel. And what a neck! Twang craze for the most demanding players!
It features a series of very interesting design concepts like the 9.5'' fretboard (for all of those 7.25'' retractors) and the Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker, that offers exceptional results and teams up perfectly with the bridge's Nocaster Singlecoil.
Super comfortable to play, with medium jumbo frets and a very soft relic'ed neck feel, all a Tele should ever be, with a lot of twang present all the time (even when the neck p'up is selected). The volume and tone pots respond nicely and offer easy to set-up tone possibilities.
The lightweight ash body (around 7lbs 8oz) is extremely resonant, and the sustain is huge. The relic'd finish is super thin nitro, with a beautifully aged look and plenty of checking and Custom Shop wear.
It also includes two original cases: the SKB case, so you can travel bullet-proof, and the beautiful and sought-after Themometer Case, all covered in lacquered tweed.
The guitar is like new. In fact, we could say it IS new, though we can't due to license policies. We have been the first owners, so the guitar has not been played other than to set it up and test it ourselves. It is a very carefully picked guitar, so we are upon a great one, folks. It just doesn't get much better than this. It includes all accessories, case candy, COA, etc.
Oh, and the serial is not stamped in the neckplate but in the bridgeplate!

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
